The message is a simple one . . .
. . "Don't Breed and Buy When
Others Die"
Staffords and Stafford
crosses were being destroyed every
week, their breed costing them their
lives. But not many "non rescue"
people are aware of the current plight
of Stafford crosses.
The full Staffords have breed rescue
championing their case but are unable
to help with the cross breeds.
We hope to try and
change that.
The aims of staffycross.org
We are a group of
dog lovers and rescue workers who
are concerned over the large number
of Staffy crosses in rescues and pounds
up and down the country. For
many in the dog pounds they will see
out their seven days only to be put
to sleep. The
ones that are lucky enough to have
a rescue space then require the right
home which can take much longer to
find than a home for many other breeds.
Many people, through
no fault of their own are unaware
of the seriousness of the Staffy cross
plight. We aim to show why numbers
are at breaking point and how ensuring
your dog is neutered will help save
lives. I know where I live, pounds
are few and far between and many people
believe this to be the case throughout
the UK. We will show that this, unfortunately,
is not the case.
We intend to show
people that Stafford types are not
"devil dogs" but in fact
ideal family pets with a great love
of people. By publicising those in
rescue we hope many can find their
ideal home with ease. We will also
include those dogs in desperate need
of rescue placements in the hope that
some lives can be saved.
We hope to offer help
with regards to "all things staffy!"
From basic care and training to more
serious issues, in the hope fewer
staffy types arrive in rescue. Many
owners are not unsuitable owners just
unaware of many things that some people
take for granted. There's nothing
to be ashamed of in asking for help,
but there is in dumping a dog.
We aim to compile
figures of actual numbers in rescues
and pounds in order to see the full
extent of the problem. Once we have
full figures we hope to encourage
the government to take a more active
step to helping these animals.
We also hope to help
raise much needed funds for those
rescues who take in Stafford types,
many of whom are ill, beaten or in
need of general medical attention.
We hope, with the
use of our posters and email newsletter,
to see more supporters offering help.
I have been asked
why I would like to see less of these
dogs bred if I care for them so much.
The answer is simple. I want these
dogs to have a life, not merely exist
for a time then to die at the hands
of a stranger. These dogs deserve
more than that.
That is our final
and most important aim. |

Rescuing Dogs From Death Row...To
Find Loving Homes.
Rochdale Dog Rescue
work every week to find responsible
rescue places for dogs in a Northern
Pound in the UK that are due to
be put to sleep if not claimed after
7 days. The pound that we work with
are one of the few pounds out there
that are willing to work closely
with us as a rescue. They too work
hard to save these dogs being put
to sleep by providing Rochdale Dog
Rescue with photographs, information
about the dogs and constant updates.
Few people realise that many healthy
dogs, through no fault of their
own, are being destroyed if not
claimed within the week.
The pound dogs come in all shapes
and sizes, ages and breeds. Some
dogs are abandoned pets that once
belonged to somebody or a family,
some are strays and some are simply
signed over to the pound by their
owner.
The only
certainty for these dogs is that
they need our help!
We work hard each week at Rochdale
Dog Rescue to find placements for
these dogs whose lives are literally
in our hands.
Transport is requested through volunteer
networks on the internet to move
dogs to rescues across the country.
Stray pound dogs must serve 7 days
in which they may be re-claimed
by their owners. Some dogs however
are "signed over" by their
owner to the pound in which case
the dog can then be taken out of
the pound at any time within the
7 days by a rescue.

North West Dog Welfare was founded to
promote responsible dog ownership by
providing help and advice to dog owners
throughout the north west of England,
and also to assist those dogs that find
themselves homeless or in need of care
by providing that care before finding
them suitable new homes. If you are
looking to provide a permanent loving
home to a dog please check out our rehoming
page, a prehoming form is also downloadable
which will give us a better idea as
to which of our dogs would be most suitable
to your current circumstances.
Homechecks are carried out prior to
you being offered a dog, and all of
our dogs are neutered, microchipped,
vaccinated, flea treated and wormed
prior to rehoming, a donation is required
and is used directly on vets bills.
All volunteers at North West Dog Welfare
give their time for free and we are
a non profit making organisation.
Please look around our website and feel
free to sign our guest book we would
love to hear from you |

My name is Sally Lancaster and I am
a portrait artist. Commissioning a portrait
could not be easier and will produce
a unique gift for a loved one or a special
treat for yourself.
I belong to the Society of Equestrian
Artists, and have exhibited at both
Crufts and Badminton.
Please visit my website to view examples
of my work and also how to go about
commissioning that individual painting.
Timescale depends on your requirements
but I normally finish a painting within
2-3 weeks. If you have any further queries,
would like to order a commission or
simply make a comment, please do not
hesitate in contacting me. I look forward
to hearing from you and happy browsing!

Recent events that have seen media coverage
are now being used by certain organisations
to push forward more legislation for
dangerous dogs. Say No to B.S.L aims
to show that this is not the answer.
Talks of amnesties, firstly covering
Merseyside, now stated as being National
are being stated as an answer in the
immediate term. This is a flawed view.
Those with innocent friendly dogs
will not hand the dogs in simply to
be destroyed and neither will those
who enjoy the status they believe
their dog gives them.
Any Amnesty may not run in-line with
the 1997 amendment which allows owners
whose dogs are seized, to ask the
courts to allow their dog to be registered
and therefore live. This decision
can only be made by a court of law
but if your dog is of good nature
and you are responsible, is a possibilty.
If you sign your dog over under an
amnesty you will not get this option.
The Kennel club has opposed any amnesty
and instead suggested opening the
register of exempt dogs (more info
here). While the finer points of this
need discussion it PROVES there is
another way. In 1991 a law was rushed
in because people where scared. That
law failed and at a price. Lets not
make the same mistake again.
No breed or type of dog is more likely
to attack than any other. Lack of
proper training and responsibilty
by the owner is much more likely to
create a dangerous dog.
Unless legislation is followed that
deals with the owners who fail to
control their dog, regardless of breed,
we will never reduce dog attacks.
If we, the general public, allow this
to continue we may find we are opening
up more discussion of adding to the
banned breeds. Your breed or type
could be next.
Say NO to BSL and Dog Amnesties!!
